Nebraska Cornhuskers’ highly-touted tight end recruit, Carter Nelson, has expressed excitement about his future with the football program, emphasizing both the rich tradition of Nebraska football and the direction the team is heading under head coach Matt Rhule. Nelson, a standout player from Ainsworth High School, was one of the nation’s top tight end prospects, and his commitment to the Cornhuskers in 2024 was a significant win for Nebraska’s recruiting efforts.
In a recent interview, Nelson highlighted what drew him to Nebraska over offers from other major programs. “It’s the culture here,” Nelson said. “Growing up in Nebraska, you know how much this program means to the state. The fan base is incredible, and there’s a strong sense of community here that I didn’t feel anywhere else.”
Nelson also spoke highly of Rhule and his vision for the future. “Coach Rhule has a plan in place to get Nebraska back to where it belongs, and I believe in what he’s building,” Nelson added. “He’s very hands-on and cares about developing us as players and people, not just winning games.”
The athletic 6-foot-5, 225-pound tight end is known for his versatility, playing multiple positions in high school, and is expected to be a key offensive weapon for the Cornhuskers in the coming years. Nelson is particularly excited about how Rhule plans to utilize him in Nebraska’s system. “They want me to be a mismatch problem for defenses, whether that’s lining up in the slot, at tight end, or even at wide receiver,” he explained. “It’s going to be fun to be part of this offense.”
Nelson’s commitment signals a promising future for Nebraska, and fans are eager to see his talents on the field. As he looks ahead, Nelson’s belief in the program’s resurgence continues to energize Husker Nation.
